This is an addition on my previous thread about finding that a marathon would fit in my tiny coupe inbetween 2 literiders...now I went to babiesrus today and tried a myride and a sr30 (and forgot to take pics of this one so mad) The sr30 fit the best honestly but I really don't think i want a bucket seat for a newborn that I will be watching and i would like for my niece to be able to use this seat (she is 3 and 28lbs) as well. Now here are pics of the myride and the marathon

I can't tell as much about the Marathon because of the kids being in there and the glare on the windows, but it looks awesome with the MyRide IMO. Looks like you've got plenty of room to buckle and everything.

I tried to buckle it and it seemed easier for me but obviously they weren't there...its cheaper too I guess that could help the decision...any other narrow based carseats out there...and a radian isn't an option

How wide is your backseat? Both look great. How much room does the 3yo have in the ma?

I have no clue but she still fits in the dreaded aoe her parents have for her...last time I sat her in a scerena in april she still had 4 inches above her head...she is TINY!

and its 47.6"

if those armrests didn't flare out like that I think it would be easier...Honestly they had a little bit of trouble with buckling with the marathon and I ended up having to help A (7)...I need another car

I bet an ra50 would work great. Smaller base, no latch bars. My vans third row is that wide and so hard to fit 3 across. Otherwise I'd go marathon, I just like it better than the my ride.

So I love Britax, but I actually think the kids will like the MR better - instant cup holders for the bigger girls when the little one isn't riding in there.:D

In my tight 3 across, a turbo seems to be the same width as the literider, and seems a little easier to buckle next to the marathon on one side of the car. So you may want to try a turbo wit the kids too. They seem to take the same amount of space, at least in my car, next to my marathon.

That is one i didn't think of lol...I think i will probably be going with the myride just based on the fact that it costs less

Is the turbo narrower than the big kid backless...I have that one and it is way to wide

Are you talking about using the turbo backless? I think they are about the same, but it's all about puzzling when it's as tight as your back seat. Hopefully someone else knows for sure.
